Kayti and John review the final game of the World Cup 2018. Were France worthy winners? Are we still in love with Croatia? Who were our favorite "characters"? Who overslept and missed the first two goals? How many games were there? How many did we watch?? And how tired are we, anyway? Please join us as we discuss what we learned from the World Cup, how we balance the reality of politics with our fandom, and what's next for soccer and our podcast. Topics include: World Cup 2018. France. Croatia. Sports and politics and a little on MLS, Tottenham Hotspur, NWSL, Women's World Cup 2019.  

Join Kayti and John as we look back at the stunning England-Croatia game and the unmemorable France-Belgium game. Then we look ahead to the Third Place Game and the Final. Who do we want to win? Who do we think is going to win? What do we hope for the Third Place Game? Also- We talk about Cristiano Ronaldo's move from Madrid to Turin and ask, "where?" and "why?" Finally, a plug for a podcast about one of American Soccer History's worst moments, depicted in "American Fiasco." Listen, won't you?

Join Kayti and John as we look back at all the upsets and all the drama over what may well be one of the best World Cups ever. Who is Kayti rooting for and why? What kept John from watching the Russia/Croatia shootout? Who do they think will actually win? What is up with all the "Football is Coming Home" things on twitter? (And everywhere?) Join us, as we grapple with the craziest of World Cups in this episode of the Casual Soccer Podcast.

Kayti and John review the highs and the lows of the group stag, and look ahead to the first round of knock out games.  Who is Kayti pulling for, and what problems might that pose for her at work? Which opinion is John least happy about having?  Is this the best World Cup, or just the most dramatic? Listen as we all take a much-needed breath before the knock out stage begins.

Join us as Kayti and John look back at some more days of crazy World Cup action. Can they keep up with the relentless pace? What fandom does Kayti compare soccer to? When do John's dogs start barking? Are there favorite teams? Favorite sporting cultures? Who should win? Can we decide on one, or are we relentlessly indecisive? Listen won't you? Mentioned on this podcast: Egypt, Mo Sallah, Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspurs, Iceland, Nigeria, Senegal, Japan, World Cup 2018, controversies, fan culture.

The World Cup is well under way and the only thing certain is how unexpected the results have been. Kayti and John are just as exhausted as an Icelandic goalkeeper, but solider on to deliver their verdict on the action so far. What team has touched our hearts? Who resembles a ballet dancer? What would happen if Iceland were an Argentine city? Who does Kayti want to see play in the next round of games? What tidbit from his past does John reveal this time? How can you find out the answers to these questions? Listen to this episode of the Casual Soccer Podcast.

Can two over-worked and over-committed fans start a podcast and keep it going? There's only one way to find out as Kayti and John talk about what brought them into soccer, and discuss their takes on the world events. What's it like watching a World Cup without the US? Is it like watching Eurovision? Or is it like being outside a party wanting to get in? Or is it both? Was Robbie Williams the greatest performer to ever front a World Cup? What do we want next for him? Was Russia that good, or was Saudi Arabia that bad? Will Kayti decide on a team to root for? And has John cursed three times by revealing his favorites? How many of these questions will we answer? Listen and find out on our premier (and slightly ramshackle) podcast.
